Astrology forecast for July 1-14
By Cortney Litwin/Staff Writer
This week blasts off with an energizing full moon on the 2nd, activating (or aggravating) business and family endeavors. Verbal Mercury moves into Leo on the 4th, instilling a dose of high drama and craving for luxury during the holiday. This freewheeling energy turns serious on the 8th when Saturn merges with the sun, bringing a focused clarity to business and home decisions. High energy is back on the 10th, at least in the communications arena, when Mercury dances with aggressive Mars and infects some of us with foot-in-mouth syndrome. Neptune rules from the 12th through the 14th, making for some foggy communications but also a romantic pas de deux for those in love.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You’re at your brainy best around the 10th if you can channel your considerable mental powers out of competitiveness and into creativity. The Full Moon brings to a climax a long-awaited decision about your career.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Communications are either wigging-out or flowing your way-or both-during the full moon. Travel plans/activities are coming together. An alluring aura surrounds you on the 14th, inspiring a soul-changing romantic encounter.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
An amazing moneymaking opportunity during the full moon could pass you by if you don’t keep your eyes wide open. Networking is the key. An inspired idea around the 12th may turn out to be an illusion-or a brilliant breakthrough.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Moonchildren are galvanized into action during the full moon, when partnership activities take precedence. Avoid crazy-making people, especially those in your immediate family. Communications can reveal a fabulous financial prospect.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The past plays a role in an important decision you’ll be mulling over the week after the full moon. An explosion of communications around the 10th may wreak havoc on your love life, but may also clarify your romantic direction.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Usually mild-mannered Virgos stand their ground around the 10th, which will pay off later this month with renewed personal direction. Don’t let the past get in your way. The full moon ushers in a glorious round of social activities.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Social Libra butterflies take flight around the 10th, when a new contact may prove important to your plans. The full moon instigates a family decision. Your artistry is especially inspired around the 14th, which may involve a romantic tryst.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The travel bug overtakes you during the full moon. Communications are significant to your success. You’ll be expressing yourself forcefully around the 10th and possibly pissing off your boss. Love turns dreamy mid-month.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A financial decision is necessary around the 8th. Afterward, during the full moon, be on the lookout for a tremendous financial break. The spending bug may bite you as well. Travel plans and romance energize you around the 10th.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The full moon in your sign awakens your desire for a spirited tête-à -tête. Physical intimacies heat up around the 10th, when talk meets action. Interactions with a coworker may turn flirtatious around the 14th.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your spiritual life brings fulfillment during the full moon. Gain some good karma by offering your services to those in need. Things heat up with your significant other around the 10th, when conflict turns into passion.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Socializing on the full moon sends you into the spotlight. Time for you to show off your talents and shine. You’re especially inspired by love around the 14th, when a soul connection brings fulfillment.
